GAZA — Two civilians, including a child, were killed today by Israeli occupation forces’ gunfire in Khan Yunis in the southern Gaza Strip.
Eyewitnesses said that Israeli snipers fatally shot a young man and a child at the Bani Suheila roundabout east of Khan Yunis.
Israeli forces also targeted a gathering of civilians near the Ahli Club in the Sheikh Radwan neighborhood west of Gaza City, causing injuries to several people.
Since the onset of the Israeli occupation aggression on Gaza by land, sea, and air, on October 7, 2023, around 39,145 civilians, mostly women and children were killed and 90,257 others were injured.
Thousands of victims remain trapped under rubble and scattered on the streets, as rescue teams face tremendous difficulties in reaching them.
In the West Bank, the number of Palestinians killed by the occupation forces and colonists since October 7, 2023, has risen to 589, including 142 children.
